Entering to the sound of riotous and raucous applause, Senator Ted Cruz stormed the Texas GOP Convention amid calls welcoming him as the next president of the United States.

Ted’s a superstar that comes rarely. He will be better than Reagan if that is possible.
Actually Ted Cruz doesn’t speak out much except about what others in the Senate are cooking up.
But he has said plenty about legal and illegal immigration in the legislation he has offered and which was voted down. And all of that legislation has been discussed fully right here.
The bottom line for Ted on immigration is we need the cream of the cream of talent working here in the USA to maintain our competitive edge and for those illegally here, he is for a system that registers them with no hope of any amnesty, in effect rounding them up and deporting them or have them self deport. He is also for strong border protection including militarization of the border.
Everything he says about border security and immigration is crystal clear, conservative and smart as it gets.
Cruz to VICTORY
Is there an official Ted Cruz for President site/group/PAC yet?
He[s already won the Values Voter straw poll as well as the republican Leadership poll. This is number three.
He, like Ronald Reagan, is only ‘unelectable’ iIF you allow the GOPe to convince of the same.
Pick early folks. We will need to go to battle full tilt soon enough
plus this is the third straw poll Ted has won. The belly aching about ‘unelectability’ sounds a lot like what was said about Reagan
bleeech... and just who do you think will do a better job?
In January his exact words were “Cruz said he recognizes that the current immigration system is broken. He said, however, Republicans should wait until next year, contending it would make more sense “so that we are negotiating a responsible solution with a Republican Senate majority rather than with Chuck Schumer.”
“Anyone pushing an amnesty bill right now should go ahead and put a ‘Harry Reid for Majority Leader’ bumper sticker on their car, because that will be the likely effect if Republicans refuse to listen to the American people and foolishly change the subject from Obamacare to amnesty,” he said.”
That is hardly shaky. Our immigration system is broken. We shouldn’t do anything until we have a majority in the Senate. That hardly constitutes being ‘shaky’.
If you act that way it will come to pass. If on the other hand you act as if not only can he but he will be then you will end up with hime as President. Ronald Reagan fit your description of Cruz ... just ask all the GOPe of that day
precisely....The panty waists around here bemoaning Cruz (for various reasons...including his birth status) are the same folks who said Reagan was a two bit actor and a cowboy and could NEVER win the Presidency....then they said he would blow us all up
Our last 2 nominees were blessed by the party; didn’t work out so well for us did it?

Ron Paul supporting Dewhurst probably won’t help Rand.
Rand’s amnesty peddling probably hurt him in Texas and many other states. Huckabee could win Iowa, Cruz wins Texas and Jeb wins Florida. Now he has to win to other states where amnesty is not popular anyway. Amnesty didn’t work for Gingrich.
Another thing that happened is the Todd Staples-Jerry Patterson Texas Amnesty solution is gone.
